Hi all,
this is juniper I bought a few weeks back. I dont have any before shots but a lot of trimming and pruning of excess folage and bare scarggly branches took place, which leaves me with what I have now.

Josh .... This is obviously, Juniperus Invisibilatem. It derives its sub latin name from the same genus as my car keys.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

Re: new Juniper - direction photos
sorry about that - I pressed submit before i could attach a photo.
the first photo is what I think might be the front.
the photo below is the possible back
I thought there might be a need for a more defined apex so through the magic of photography I 'pruned' the top right of the tree . I think this might be the way to go with this tree?
any other opinions, ideas, thoughts, criticisms etc are very gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Adrian

Hi ADO
Hope you dont mind, I would like to see your juniper brought down in size a little.
As usual, a few pics to help with the general ideas.

Paul
